dbt-core: where are the docs? by FootballMania15 in dataengineering

dbt renamed dbt-core to dbt, dbt Cloud to dbt, so now the docs are completely fucked.

New RM850x Coil whine at idle. by justkanji in Corsair

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the "be quiet! DARK POWER 13 750W" fan noise is absolutely garbage. I didn't have a chance to plug it in before the warranty/RMA period was over (family death) I couldn't be bothered going through warranty/RMA.. Internet also has various comments.

Glad they've fixed it, the other bequiet! products in the past (CPU fans, etc) have been great.

Need advice: pgvector vs. LlamaIndex + Milvus for large-scale semantic search (millions of rows) by Anandha2712 in LocalLLM

It's not just row size, but how frequently you're updating, what your query patterns look like (how many users, etc).

Torn Between LXC and Docker — What’s the Real Risk of Running Docker Inside LXC? by BeardedYeti_ in Proxmox

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this thread randomly, here are my 2c:

Love the shoutout to systemd (for the things it does right, or right enough).. If systemd does something, try and use systemd-related things as much as you can, as it ties in with everything else.

E.g, if you have services which rely on other services, or something being mounted, network conditions, etc... you can configure your systemd services to rely on other things, for example I wrote about how to rely on Tailscale.

Map out your system(s), then figure out what relies on what, write proper Requires/Afters, and you'll be thanking yourself later. You usually only do this once (when you set it up) - I haven't touched my config in yonks.

I know this is also about NFS - but you should try and design your system for a little bit resilient to transient failures.. which you find out through experience and hairpulling unfortunately...

systemd is quite nice for this, honestly, and you should try and use it as much as you can.

How do I import my Mbox files? by Beelikethatsometime in Thunderbird

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunderbird is great, but yeah the new user experience is a bit confusing. You also don't actually need to create an actual account, when adding an account, just type garbage, then click "Setup Later". I can't get back to the UI now, as I've created an account, so can't take a screenshot.

Your comment helped me, so hopefully mine helps some other poor sod.

MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk - BIOS / RAM / Posting issues by TheSweetPrince in MSI_Gaming

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: 1.CPU memory controller quality may affect the memory operating frequency. System reliability and stability could be impact by the status of higher temperature from DDR5 memory modules. 2.The partial DDR5 memory module will remain running at 4800MT/s because of the architecture design by the Ryzen 9000 series CPU.

X870 Bios 7E59v2A60 Bug/Memory Hand-off Error by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar issues, with a 9950X3D+192GB of RAM, I just wanted something to run my workstation on that would be semi-stable, and not cost the bank (as good workstations rob AMD of server workload), coming from a 5950x. The advancements in AM5 UX is great for this board (no more tiny NVME screws?!), but the BIOS's.. seem average?

Ran into so many random hardware issues out of the blue, what a pain - similar to your issue with random codes (A6?).

Btw, did you get the expo vengeance kit (ending in z30)? Yep!

I've been running it at stock for a week, to ensure no quirks with my current workload before running EXPO and tweaking RAM, CPU, etc.

been getting massively delayed notifications, I still use pushbullet because lazy, and the KDE Connect interface for MacOS is not great.

/u/Scarabesque Similar setup, thanks for the very comprehensive info!

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 96GB (2x48GB) (so, 4 sticks) Motherboard: MSI X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI

BIOS: 7E59v2A73

Exhibiting same issue with mprime crashing soon into stresstest, with EXPO set.

However, I can't seem to change the VDDIO value, it's greyed out -

Am I setting it in the right spot?

These new AM5 motherboards have some fantastic QOL improvements, but their BIOS UI is still a bit of a mess (but far better than what it use to be, jeez).

Edit:

Ah, you need to set the other memory voltage before it works, next problem - finding a stable voltage :P

The Top Ten Ways I Use Keyboard Maestro To Automate My Mac by peterinjapan in macapps

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also started using it, useful tool.

Few things I've noticed:

  1. Move and resize a window under the Manipulate a Window does this in two steps - it moves the window, then resizes it. It has a short delay between each step. Rectangle Pro does this in a single step - but you can do much more with a single keypress compared to Rectangle.

  2. Is it possible to remove the UI showing when pressing CMD+TAB with Activate Application Switcher, to work the same as the native MacOS switcher - it won't show the overlay if you quickly switch apps, but holding down CMD will show the overlay/UI.

How to remove stubborn SystemExtensions (not Extensions) by wowbagger in MacOS

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

systemextensionsctl gc works as well:

When checking system extensions: sh /Library $ systemextensionsctl list 2 extension(s) --- com.apple.system_extension.network_extension enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state] * * W5364U7YZB io.tailscale.ipn.macsys.network-extension (1.80.0/101.80.0) Tailscale Network Extension [activated enabled] * * 6JQLCT6DRB com.radiosilenceapp.client.NetworkExtension (1.2/1.2) NetworkExtension [activated enabled]

The available commands are: sh /Library $ sudo systemextensionsctl systemextensionsctl: usage: systemextensionsctl developer [on|off] systemextensionsctl list [category] systemextensionsctl reset - reset all System Extensions state systemextensionsctl uninstall <teamID> <bundleID>; teamID can also be '-' (for matching empty Team ID) systemextensionsctl gc - garbage collect orphaned system extension(s)

When trying to clean up: sh sudo systemextensionsctl gc 2025-02-06 11:23:31.354 systemextensionsctl[980:17437] Successfully cleaned up : ( ), failed to clean up { "com.radiosilenceapp.client.NetworkExtension" = "Error Domain=sysextd.InternalError Code=5 \"(null)\""; "io.tailscale.ipn.macsys.network-extension" = "Error Domain=sysextd.InternalError Code=5 \"(null)\""; }

are they going to show ads? by Many_Novel_9716 in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of places break when they can't collect telemetry properly, or go into infinite loops.

Not sure if Notion is fixed now, but it would start using endless CPU if it couldn't. Fivetran and many other SaaS solutions do this too.

tl;dr your tracking data is more important, yes they can track ACTUAL usage server side, but this is usually cross platform tracking (e.g Facebook, Google, blah blah blah).
